Each year we gather and offer a challenging Half Marathon Run (with less challenging 10 k, 4 mile, 2 mile and 1 mile options) on dirt roads through the now world famous Dandelion Fields of Morgan, Holland, and Derby. We celebrate the coming of High Spring in the Kingdom, honor the short life of Terri Weed, and support Umbrella. It’s May! It’s time to Run! Just for the Fun of it.
We gather on Saturday morning at the Derby Beach House, 220 4H Road, Derby, VT 05829. Start time: 9:00 am. We intend to offer pre-made sandwiches, chips, and water or Gatorade for lunch after the run. Musicians will be sprinkled throughout the course and back at the Beach House. On line registration closes on May 16, 2024. We will allow “walk on” registrations on the day of the race.
Registration fees include our Runners Pasta Dinner (with music, of course) on Friday evening at The EastSide Restaurant the evening before the run.
